Configuring multilingual support
The Multilingual support settings allow you to assign one of two project languages for each
user interface language for the S7-1200 Web server (Page 1001). You can also configure no
project language for a user interface language.
What is a project language?
The project language is the language that the TIA Portal uses to display user-defined project
texts as network comments and block comments.
You select project languages in the TIA Portal from the
Tools > Project languages
menu
command for the selected project in the project tree.
You can then configure user texts such as network comments and block comments in each
project language from the
Tools > Project texts
menu command. Then when you change the
TIA Portal user interface language, the network comments, block comments, and other
multilingual project texts display in the corresponding project language. You set the TIA
Portal user interface language from the
Options > Settings
project language menu
command.
Project languages and project texts are also configurable from the
Languages & resources
node of the project tree.
The Web server can use one or two of the STEP 7 project languages for the display of
diagnostic buffer messages.
